# std::philox_engine<UIntType,w,n,r,consts>::seed

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | random‎ | philox engine

void seed( result_type value = default_seed ); | (1) | (since C++26)
template< class SeedSeq > void seed( SeedSeq& seq ); | (2) | (since C++26)

Sets the state of the random-number engine.

1) Right after the state is set, *this == std::philox_engine(value) is true.
2) Right after the state is set, *this == std::philox_engine(seq) is true.

### Parameters

value | - | seed value to use to set the state
seq | - | seed sequence to use to set the state

### Exceptions

2) If `SeedSeq` is not std::seed_seq, throws the exceptions thrown by the `seq.generate` call.

### Complexity

1) Same as std::philox_engine(value).
2) Same as std::philox_engine(seq).

(constructor) | constructs the engine (public member function)
set_counter | sets the current counter of the engine (public member function)
